Nowhere Else To Go

(The land of Zion and Jerusalem.)2
Where prophets walked and prophesied,
For their God, our God:
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.3

And the Lord spoke to Abram, and he...

The Intensifying love story by 
Madhavi.
 
I simply adore you, my Mesmerizing 
Persona.
As you are my first love.
Who lighted my heart with full of pride and

Who ignited the ecstasy towards lovely life.
Who relieved my...

      A gentle rainfall, of emotions, 
whispered by the sea. 
The stage aligned as her gaze meets mine, 
     a golden treasure to me.

Endless ribbon of tattered poetry in pavement,

Trail of tears for wandering vagabonds,

Seek yourself from this time forth betwixt sunrise and senility,

For the tides of the seasons grow weary with long-suffering,

To the hopes thou clingeth unto,...

It began mundanely as ever.
Us, together. Nothing unusual.
Nothing unique, nothing portentous.

I wondered if I had upset you;
I tend to believe that too often.
It's seldom true.

We spoke.
You spoke, I listened.
We never do that enough for me.
But...

There is a PLACE where my story began that became most difficult
to understand and left a bitter TASTE, an ugly TRACE that was hard to ERASE. Most of its people were loving, but it was...

a child seeks voyage in the current of fame, 
he does not homage the sun, 
he does not sing the moon her eulogies, 
he will wet and weaken his dreams

Alphabets Voyage 

Just last week the alphabets walked off into the sky
Taking Saudi Arabia and China’s colloquial scripts along

Hiding white as ghosts on vast tracts...

Tonight t'was the stars
I'll cascade a memorizing moon
Glimmering sanctified silence 
along with 
trickling twilight for 
iconoclast ink, 
the serpentine key to 
sacred myrrh melodies
of my heirloom heart~
O glamorous specs of
citrine care to each
unravelling...

guileless in my green days i climbed to the tip of my toes
to hear a tree and the wind
clap a rat-a-tat code outside my casement window

i was a follower then of minuscule choirs
small voices not...

Once, we were all sojourned learners awakened
  seeking a home and some safer haven
  taking we wanted in our misbehaving.
Foreigners, aliens, wanderlust trail blazers with roots
  settling on this land serene and...

CHILDREN AND THE PHONE
 
Children stumbling upon the wonder of a phone,
Can turn the mundane into a humor-filled zone.
Giggling and squirming, full of curiosity,
They stumbled upon a wild world of hilarity.

They tapped carelessly and swiped...

It reminds me of a song that I use to hear
when I was a child so many years ago. The song
spoke of a man traveling here and traveling there,
and finally coming to a place in...

Composed by Joan May Donnelly Ellis

To all the men I've loved before
Who found their way to my heart's door, 
I'm grateful to you,

On this great patch
unfading black race stand-
Symbols of grace abide in tribes of heroes-
We represent a prosperous palms of an ancient land.
We are the African selfie,
a descriptive map of Africa to the world.

R.I.P JUNIOR POPE

In sombre silence & mournful melody, 
A threnody for one who passed on sadly,
Who lost his life without a life jacket,
Crashed without precaution on a speedboat.4

Down the endless road I 
Walk.
The road of life or you 
May call it the road of 
Torment-but know I the 
Name.
Along I walk,the trees 
Whistling as I journey on 
With gentle breeze of the...

Sound the gong
O ye poetic comrades! 
Heralding the seventieth year of the River 
Play the flute
O ye poetic comrades!
A symphony of moving waters.

As the river flows, not withstanding
Its stage of life into craving streams
So does...

Inscription; the birth, the death the epitaph 
On show for all who take this path 
To know Sir John is buried here 
Beneath his coat of arms.

I stand at the bank of the river 

where my father used to come,

Twilight brings him here,

He stands and watches,

Lost in the ambience,

Embraced by a presence,

He didn’t bother if I stared at him,

Or if I...
